I am doing research on the Vale family. Here is a brief breakdown: Robert Vale, born in London 1716, died 1799 and buried at the Warrington Pennsylvania Meeting house. He captained a ship bringing to Quakers to America and was given land in PA. Married to Sarah Buller. John Vale, born in Pa Dec. 30, 1760. He and his second wife Deborah moved to Clarkson, Ohio in 1814. Jacob Vale, born June 3 1809 died Nov 1880. Married to Olivia McCarty. Moved the family to illinois. They may have ended up in Iowa after living in Illinois. Alonzo Columbus Vale, my great grandfather, born in Ohio 1841. The family moved to Edgar County, Illinois. Alonzo and his wife Mary Ellen Cain moved out of Edgar County sometime after 1880 to an unknown location. Jacob Alonzo Vale, my grandfather, Born Nov 12, 1878 and died Aug 1, 1948 in Illinois I live near Clarkson, Ohio and have some photos of the old meeting house. Some of the graves are still readable. Thanks, Mike Vale Akron, Ohio
